Acceleration due to the motion of the Planets inferred as Gravity C.Prabhakar  Abstract—Gravity may not be due to the attractive forces of masses with one another. But, may be due to the motion of planets both its rotation and revolution together with different or same rates of motion between them. Any point on the Planet traces the equation of a cycloid by its rotation and revolution motion, with the equation of cycloid we can show that acceleration due to gravity is acceleration caused by the two motions of the Planets, not due to the attractive forces of the Planet. Index Terms— Gravity, Cycloid curve, Acceleration due to Gravity

I. INTRODUCTION The definition of Gravity, Time and Space Changes after every new Idea. Now, one of the Ideas which may change the way we interpret the possible reasons of Gravity effect.

II. HISTORY As we know it was interesting story that once when Newton was sitting under the tree, apple fell on his head, then idea flashed to him that Apple could fall means, Earth is attracting everything. Later, by careful Observation he propounded the law of Gravitation. He extended attracting force to heavenly objects as well. Many scientists around the world made discoveries, theories based on this idea of Gravitation. But, no one could predict from where this Gravity comes from. Many scientists tried to correlate it to electrostatic force of attraction. But,failed. Many Experiments were undergone even before Isaac Newton. Galileo made two masses of different weights to fall from certain height, contrary to everybody’s belief he noticed that without air resistance both fell at the same time. This means Earth’s acceleration due to Gravity is same for all the small as well as large masses. We have one more option that body does not have any Gravitational Attraction at all, it is only due to the motion of planets. That’s why it does not depend upon the small or large masses and both fall at the same rate. Objects thrown upwards falls down thought to be due to Gravity may not be due to the attractive force. But, due to the different or same rates of rotation and revolution motion of the Planets. As it said there is no difference between acceleration caused by Gravitation and acceleration from any other moving sources (Principle of Equivalence).Then why not acceleration from any planetary movement.

called Earth, The Earth revolves around the Sun at a velocity of about 29800m/s and Earth rotates on its own axis with velocity of 464.58m/s. Take a point on the circumference of Earth, as it completes one rotation along with its revolution motion. It traces a cycloid curve and it travels (8r/2πr)=1.27 times more than the length of the circumference of a corresponding circle, here 8r is the length of the one arch curve of a cycloid and 2πr is the length of the circumference of a corresponding circle. Secondly, translational velocity of rotating Earth is less than its translational velocity of its revolution. Any point on the Earth reaches same distance and in same the time by its both rotation and revolution motion and traces a cycloid curve, will be in acceleration. This acceleration we observe as acceleration due to Gravity. If planets stops its motions then there is no acceleration induced, everything would become weightless contrary to the belief, which says it will become more due to Gravity. Suppose imagine that a body floats in the space without any gravitational attraction force, if in its way a planet comes, surely it will carry away the floating body along its way i.e., floating body falls on the Planet. If the rate of falling of a body to the planet is different from the rate of falling of a body due to the Gravitational force, then there is chance of believing the existence of attractive Force of Gravity. But, it is not so. Another important one is escape velocity of Earth, it is the least velocity required to throw a body away from the surface of the Earth so that it may not fall back to earth.

III. EXISTING METHOD TO CALCULATE ESCAPE VELOCITY Work done to take a body away from Earth = GMm/R Where G is Universal Gravitational constant and M and m are mass of Earth and mass of a body on Earth and R radius of Earth. Kinetic energy to overcome the above work is given by E = 1/2mve2 Therefore, Equating above two equations 1/2mve2 = GMm/R ve2 = 2GM/R=2gR2/R = 2gR ve = √2gR ve is the Escape Velocity and substituting values we get 11200m/s. But, Earth’s velocity around the sun . i.e., in the forward direction is 29800m/s. How it is possible to escape from Earth. If a body travel at velocity of 11200m/s. away from Earth and Earth is following behind at 29800m/s, which is greater than escape velocity, the body will not be able to escape from Earth. In other words, Escape velocity of any planet would be always greater than
